sir,
I have the honour to acknowledge the
receipt of your despatch No.105 of 13th May, 1948
regarding proposals made by the Director of Marine for
the stricter control of passenger traffic on river
steamers.
I note with satisfaction that these
proposals have been put into operation with success
and that as a result hazards such as led to the
recent fire on the s.s. Kwongtung have been
considerably reduced.
I have the honour to be,
sir,
Your most obedient,
humble servant,
(Sex) H. Creed Jones
